What Hacker News says
5 sourcesSEEKING WORK - Eindhoven, The Netherlands / Remote
Experienced software developer with team lead experience and a hacker attitude. I'm a full-stack web developer and embedded software engineer with 12 years of professional experience doing small and large projects with a large variety of platforms and technologies.
Currently specializing in:
* C#/.NET software (Windows and Linux/Mono, web and desktop)
* Cross-platform mobile apps on iOS, Android and Windows Phone
(using Xamarin / MonoTouch / MonoDroid)
I'm experienced with all modern Microsoft technologies and frameworks, but I often find that there's open source out there that's better. If you use .NET but disregard non-Microsoft tech, you're really missing out!
Besides the above, I'm fluent in C, C++ (Win32 API, microcontrollers, Linux), JavaScript (, TypeScript, CoffeeS

cript), PHP, Python, Ruby, and Java (incl Android). Finally, I occasionally help teams embrace modern engineering practices, such as TDD, continuous integration, or a structured agile approach.
Most of my recent work has been unfortunately closed-source proprietary stuff, but for a peek at my code, see:
https://github.com/eteeselink/fakethat (down-to-earth C# mocking framework)
https://github.com/eteeselink/YieldMachine (C# state machines)
https://github.com/eteeselink/cdhere (little C++ console tool that talks to Windows Explorer)
Something of a CV can be found at http://www.linkedin.com/in/egbert.
I can work on-site in the Netherlands, or remotely. I started freelancing only recently, so my portfolio isn't as well presented as yet I'd like it to. Nevertheless, you can find contact info on my placeholder website at http://superset.eu.

Experienced software developer with team lead experience and a hacker attitude. I'm a full-stack web developer and embedded software engineer with 12 years of professional experience doing small and large projects with a large variety of platforms and technologies.
Specialized in C#/.NET in recent years, but unlike too many .NET devs, my scope is not limited to Microsoft's "technologie du jour". I'm familiar with Microsoft's standard technologies as well as the great open source alternatives out there. Experience with making cross-platform mobile apps with Xamarin (MonoTouch / MonoDroid - iOS, Android, Windows Phone) and with making .NET software that runs great on Mono/Linux.

For Windows users I have a closely related shameless plug:
cdhere navigates your cmd.exe to wherever the current topmost Explorer window is pointed at.
It's not the same as the OP's trick, of course, but since you're voluntarily using Windows, I'm going to assume you "live" on the command line less than the average UNIX user, and more on GUI tools such as good old Explorer.
